Joint Biomedical Laboratory Research

Research and Development Services
Scientific Merit Review Board, Notice
of Meeting
The Department of Veterans Affairs
(VA) gives notice under Federal
Advisory Committee Act, 5 U.S.C.
app.2, that a meeting of the Joint
Biomedical Laboratory Research and
Development and Clinical Science
Research and Development Services
Scientific Merit Review Board (JBL/CS
SMRB) will be held Tuesday, July 12,
2022, via WebEx. The meeting will
begin at 3 p.m. and end at 5 p.m. ET.
The meeting will have an open session
from 3 p.m. until 3:30 p.m. and a closed
session from 3:30 p.m. until 5 p.m.
The purpose of the Board is to
provide expert review of the scientific
quality, budget, safety and missionrelevance of investigator-initiated
research applications submitted for VA
merit review consideration and to offer
advice for research program officials on
program priorities and policies.
The purpose of the open session is to
meet with the JBL/CS Service Directors
to discuss the overall policies and
process for scientific review, as well as
disseminate information among the
Board members regarding the VA
research priorities.
The purpose of the closed session is
to provide recommendations on the
scientific quality, budget, safety and
mission relevance of investigatorinitiated research applications
submitted for VA merit review
evaluation. Applications submitted for
review include various medical
specialties within the general areas of
biomedical, behavioral and clinical
science research. The JBL/CS SMRB
meeting will be closed to the public for
the review, discussion and evaluation of
initial and renewal research
applications, which involve reference to
staff and consultant critiques of research
applications. Discussions will deal with
scientific merit of each application and
qualifications of personnel conducting
the studies, the disclosure of which
would constitute a clearly unwarranted
invasion of personal privacy.
Additionally, premature disclosure of
research information could significantly
obstruct implementation of proposed
agency action regarding the research
applications. As provided by subsection
10(d) of Public Law 92–463, as amended
by Public Law 94–409, closing the
subcommittee meetings is in accordance
